Review Quotes

Classroom teachers and reading specialists will find these new resource books full of rich
and targeted activities designed to strengthen students' skills as they meet the requirements of
the Common Core State Standards. Michelle Manville is a consummate professional Missouri
educator who understands student needs and suggests effective strategies and literature to
meet them.

I am excited to have Manville's book as a rich resource for my teachers as we continue our
transition to the CCSSs in our district. Teachers will immediately appreciate the multitude of
activities, especially as they are asked this year to implement new activities on each
under-touched Common Core standard and on standards on which students are
underperforming. As the person responsible for curriculum and instruction, I can be confident
that Manville's laser-like attention to providing only research-based activities will help ensure
success!

The skills learned from Manville's ninth-grade literacy and writing activities
for history and social studies will be very beneficial to freshmen students in their
geography and English courses.

Today's classroom teachers are eager to help students not just meet but master the standards, but many are unprepared, ill-equipped, or misguided. This book solves that problem. Michelle Manville provides ELA teachers with a wealth of useful resources and research-based strategies that allows them to deliver rigorous, meaningful, and creative instruction in their classrooms.
